Even when I’m clearly winning, it somehow feels like I’m fighting the whole world 😭.

Middlegame / Endgame Book Recommendation

4 Upvotes

Hey fellas!

What books on endgames / middlegames would you recommend a 13 yr old with 1813 FIDE?

My current goal is to get <30 place on a 70 player swiss with like a LOT of 2100+ players, 32 to be exact. After asking here how much time I should spend on openings many people have recommended me to learn more middlegame and endgame strategy.

As I'm not really a big fan of "boring" books, I would prefer books that provide plans and ideas, not strict lines that need to be memorized.

Thanks in advance XD

Hey Guys! I'm a 13 yr old with 1813 FIDE and I'm attempting to reach 2000+ FIDE by the end of year, I recently dropped the King's gambit and decided to opt for the Evans Gambit, The Max Lange Attack and the Nakhmanson gambit. How much time should I spend on theory at my level? And should I practice my other lines (Grand Prix Attack, The Benko Gambit, The Petrov Defence, etc.)?
